GLOSSOP BOOKFEST 2024

Meet the Illustrators

Tess Gee

I am a self taught illustrator, as far as I can remember I have always found comfort in drawing. I use it as a tool for processing and adjusting to the world around me. I find inspiration in the asymmetry in nature, nothing is perfect and I think that is beautiful. I often use symbolism and hone in female form.

I now sell illustration prints, do commissions and the odd window has been decorated by myself in Glossop. ’
